Example: This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. This example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

1 year 3 years 5 years 10 years

$125

$390

$676

$1,489

Portfolio Turnover: The Fund incurs transaction costs, such as commissions (or other indirect transaction costs), when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual Fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 288% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies: The Fund’s Sector Allocation Model invests solely in the exchange traded funds (ETFs) that represent the nine sectors of the Standard and Poors 500 Index (S&P) and the ETF representing the one- to three-month

U.S. Treasury Note. The Fund makes investments in proportions designed to meet its investment objectives while maintaining some balance within equities and short term treasuries. The Fund evaluates the performance of the nine sectors weekly and purchases or sells any given sector or treasury holding accordingly.

Sectors are either in or out of the model, and all sectors in the model are equally weighted. The maximum allocation to any one sector is 25%. When three or fewer sectors are included 25% is invested in each sector and the remainder is invested in the Treasury ETF. When four or more sectors are included the percentage in each is equally weighted and no investment is made in the Treasury ETF. When no sectors are included, 100% is invested in the Treasury ETF.

The nine sectors are:

• Consumer Staples (XLP) • Consumer Discretionary (XLY) • Materials (XLB)
• Energy (XLE) • HealTD Care (XLV) • Technology (XLK)
• Financial (XLF) • Industrial (XLI) • Utilities (XLU)

 


Principal Risks:

  • Market Volatility: As with all market-traded securities, the risk of price declines of Fund securities is unavoidable. Many factors affect the market every day that produce fluctuations in the value of all securities. The daily value of Fund shares reflects these fluctuations.
  • ETF Risk: Equity-based exchange traded funds are subject to risks similar to those of stocks. Investment returns will fluctuate and are subject to market volatility, so that your shares, when redeemed or sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
  • Portfolio Turnover: In following the Fund’s investment strategy described above, portfolio changes can occur on a weekly basis and without regard for how long the investments have been in the Fund. Portfolio turnover may involve brokerage commissions and other transaction costs and may result in realizing short-term capital gains.
  • Returns Are Not Guaranteed: An investment in the Fund is neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. government. Shares of the Fund are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by a bank, and the shares are not federally insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other agency.
  • Loss Can Occur: Remember that you can loose money by investing in this or any other fund.

Annual Total Return: The following bar chart and table provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows changes in the Fund’s before-tax performance from year to year over a 10-year period (or for the life of the Fund if less than 10 years). The table shows how the Fund’s average annual returns for one, five, and ten years (or for the life of the Fund) compare to those of a broad-based securities market index. Remember that the Fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how it will perform in the future.
